Mercy San Juan Medical Center Visiting Hours and Guidelines


To view the current visitor policy for Mercy San Juan Medical Center, click here.

Mercy San Juan Medical Center does not maintain official “visiting hours” for the entire hospital; in fact, we encourage loved ones to visit as often as possible to help with healing and recovery. Nearly all of our units allow loved ones to visit at any time of day; however, some of our units maintain preferred visiting times and have unit-specific visitation policies. Please check with the unit you are visiting to determine the best time for your visit.

A photo ID is mandatory for any visitor in the hospital after 9 p.m. and is required at all times for visitors in the Family Birth Center.

Masking

Masks are not required for staff, patients, or visitors, with the following exceptions:

  • Masks are required for patients, staff and visitors in respiratory/droplet/airborne isolation areas.
  • Visitors and patients are encouraged to wear masks if they are experiencing symptoms of respiratory illness.

Thank you for your continued support to keep our community safe and healthy.
